OLD SCHOOL TRAVEL POSTERS

Comparing old style advertising with new advertising, the world has come a far way. You can grasp some history from the times the posters were made. The images show the old style uses more block typography and illustration along with more of a straight forward direct message. Today, in the time of digital and social media, we see more TV ads showing what they think people want to see of the places and it's all about being competitive so having cheapest price for it.


Really showing its age, this poster was part of a collect in the early part of the 20th century when the countries official name was Dutch East Indies (countries included now within Southeast Asia such as Indonesia) and under Dutch colonial regime.


Formally, when 'Russia' was the USSR, which dissolved in 1991, this ad shows parts of history and just how the USSR was known for hunting back then - this would have attracted many as it was more common
